| Abstract |
Novel oral anticoagulants present challenges and uncertainties in the management of hemorrhagic emergencies. An 84-year-old man taking dabigatran presented with a subdural hematoma requiring neurosurgical intervention. Routine coagulation assays were prolonged at admission and following administration of Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity (FEIBA). Thromboelastography (TEG(®)) was utilized to assess clot dynamics prior to placement of a subdural drain, which was safely inserted despite a prolonged thrombin time (TT). Exclusive reliance on the TT may delay necessary interventions. TEG(®) may be a valuable tool to investigate hemostasis in patients on dabigatran requiring emergent procedures. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 November 2014.
All research outputs
#15,309,583
of 22,769,322 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis
#611
of 964 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#119,854
of 193,774 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis
#5
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,769,322 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 964 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 193,774 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
